  • RainbowDinosir RainbowisCool (@RainbowDinosir) reported

    @TheGrimsy Something like an Overwatch Archives aways comes to mind when talking about story missions. I liked Broken Ghost but it wasn’t enough for me with just the prowlers

  • azaleali ali ♡ (@azaleali) reported

    ive tried to play overwatch the past 5 or so days and every single day i get disconnected even tho my internet is fine 😭 i dont know how to fix it and my SR is going down the drain 😭😭

  • Paz__ow Paz (@Paz__ow) reported

    @Magia_OW Really good aim tbh, just need to grind if you want to improve. Learning the game seems to be the issue atm, but learning Overwatch can be a real slog. If you need help just lmk 0.0

  • BaraArchery Adrian | B-L-M (@BaraArchery) reported

    Akshan isn't even released yet and people are already complaining about him being "broken". sigh. this isn't Overwatch guys,if he really is broken he'll be nerfed within 2 weeks lol

  • thatretrocode Edward Varnell | Boss Rush Games (@thatretrocode) reported

    @chaseruni I mean, most people already came and lost their wig with Sephiroth so if those three come and top it, it will be interesting. Problem with Crash and Overwatch, I don't know if Activision been striving for them to be in Smash (and Ninty doesn't have a great relationship with them)

  • kvnekill tyler*:・。 (@kvnekill) reported

    can't login to apex , overwatch has to update , sick of genshin , have nothing else installed ... yikes

  • DJK1NG_Gaming DJK1NG_Gaming - Edens Zero & Destiny Lovers! 🇭🇹 (@DJK1NG_Gaming) reported

    @DaXboxUniverse @NeoGameSpark Switch has Bluetooth Online Service isn't poor. Get your *** better internet There is Voice Chat. With Third Party games you can use third party headsets but Nintendo games are lock to the Smartphone app I can voice chat in Overwatch, Rogue Company and others.

  • nottheperry PerryLets (@nottheperry) reported

    @jaysxnb @PenlessInk_ @RKRigney Titanfall 1 is mainly asked to leave the stores because most people don't think they will fix it and titanfall 2 is the same ages as overwatch, which is not the best example but you get what I mean.

  • Pieosaurus3 Erin (@Pieosaurus3) reported

    The only way to play Overwatch is with friends and not being in team chat. In the 4 games I've played today: 4 throwers 2 uses of the n-word 1 use of the r-word Overwatch's biggest problem is not it's meta or lack of content, it's the ****** people who play it

  • NoWayInsanity S (@NoWayInsanity) reported

    going back to playing overwatch until apex fixes the dogshit issues

  • AshyYO__ Ashy ⚡ (@AshyYO__) reported

    First stream went well, my internet didn't crash and i was slaying on overwatch. Just need to get comfortable on stream and get my community up and running

  • widxwsbite ꒾ jack ꒾ (@widxwsbite) reported

    and yes i know for certain games like overwatch and fortnite it works...because those are inherently multiplayer games that work with the design of live service games...i mean it being shoehorned into literally every single franchise the same way RPG mechanics are but worse

  • Justin_K_ JustinK ඞ (@Justin_K_) reported

    @DaDexo_ @GrantHinds Overwatch has a massive toxic community.. The Cheating problem will increase heavily if the game becomes free to play..

  • Iamfluxx_ Iamfluxx_ (@Iamfluxx_) reported

    @KyzehOfficial @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch Nothing will happen most likely with it being Overwatch, but it's sick that things like this happen in general never mind that they go unpunished, even then when they do get punished usually it's either a warning or a temporary mute, like that solves the problem.

  • livskrt_ oliviugh (@livskrt_) reported

    Is it normal for my pc to crash this much even when I go on overwatch it just freezes

  • selkiefluff Martie 🏳️‍🌈 @total SK8 brainrot 🐍🌹|🐯🌸|❄️🌺 (@selkiefluff) reported

    @krynnea it's only anime fans that are this dumb i swear, either that or the society has regressed so much since 2016, bc back in the day nobody had problems with d va from overwatch (19) being shipped with anyone from the cast, be it 25 or 60 :p

  • kanatofia nato ♪ (@kanatofia) reported

    @hakazess shouldn’t there be issues with copyright,,,,,also what ******** overwatch and jojo is a thing in enstuniverse?

  • BrownSugaWright TIBS (@BrownSugaWright) reported

    @alphaINTEL Learn from Overwatch. Dedicated servers with a proper infosec team. It’s not a money issue because they have it.

  • RileyTwitch 💕 (@RileyTwitch) reported

    Overwatch community: please, fix your game. give us a new hero. update it. do something. Blizzard: look, new ana skin!

  • KarioTwo Mewkario ❤ (@KarioTwo) reported

    yeah imma play overwatch silly fortnite is lagging everything

  • itsyug0 itsyugo⁷ (@itsyug0) reported

    I was thinking that when(if I can) I platinum trophy God of war if I should play one piece pirate warriors 4? I bought it when it came out and was hyped but never played it...or should I go the val/overwatch route? I also have all the crash games as well as little nightmares....

  • bajablasted69 a responsible and trustworthy young man (@bajablasted69) reported

    i don't think this'll be an issue since i've blocked anyone who's ever mentioned it but please tag overwatch (video game) stuff and american horror story/ahs (show)

  • IAlienationI Alienation Gaming 🛸 (@IAlienationI) reported

    Was looking to stream Smite, but it looks like there’s server issues so that’s a no go. Overwatch it is

  • oxtonbot lena (@oxtonbot) reported

    : an issue with the Storm to go watch him on why Overwatch needs to Reinhardts

  • Neotoads Bri 🍄 (@Neotoads) reported

    Lol I was gonna try and stream overwatch today but it’s making my laptop lag so bad I cant

  • JoomyJum Joomy | BLM | 1312 (@JoomyJum) reported

    Woke myself up from sleep because I was dreaming I was playing Overwatch and my brain went "Wait a minute, of all the Life-Grinding Live-Service games you could dream of, you dreamed of playing OVERWATCH over PTCGO?!" and I woke myself up out of sheer disappointment

  • doomocrat $500 goku nikes (@doomocrat) reported

    team fortress 2's current state is nearly unplayable so i've been playing overwatch please fix tf2

  • nottheperry PerryLets (@nottheperry) reported

    @KyleTsetso @Mandarino__ @RKRigney I will give you a example: For one day, overwatch was close due to ddos attacks (different from the hack apex suffered) and the devs were able to fix it. And with impact I mean do something to stop it.

  • ChrisTheJoKa Chris JoKa (@ChrisTheJoKa) reported

    @WheresCs @CSGO No but easier than to provide needed updates and content. For money they just need cases as their **** support surprisingly doesn't destroy the game. VAC/Overwatch, MM ranks fix Map reworks + return of loved maps Add community server modes but clean. Inventory mgmt done right!!
